Default New Model A ignition parts

I bought my Model A with a Mallory distributor (2301105),not sure about the coil or wires. I will be getting a new coil, points, condenser, cap, wires, and plugs.

I'm not planning on doing anything special, just making it a good running driver. I am currently keeping it 6v, but will eventually will convert it to 12v.

I will get Autolight plugs because I know they are good. Any suggestions on the rest would be very helpful.

Dual point distributor.Converting to 12v drops the price on stuff like coils.What do you have for a carb? high compression head? exhaust?

I have found Autolight plugs to be a tad on the cold side. You may want to stick with Champion (if you can find them). Why change to 12v? 6v is just fine.
